Should i take half or a full LSD blotter?

Question

I'm going to be taking LSD at some point soon and im wondering whether to take half a tab or a whole tab. Its the first time im going to of ever tried any type of drug before. I dont want an intense trip for my first time, just want to know what its like for my first time.

Answer 1

Take half, its safer specially if you have a bad trip. Be careful and plan what to do if you have a bad trip cause people kill theirselves because of those. If you want an intense trip then go for one. But seriously be careful.

And have fun.

Answer 2

try to take a dose that = 1 lsd unit per 1 million blood cells I have heard this will get you triping for 36 hours.

Answer 3

mom is right, no way to predict your experience. If you are going to do it take the half first. If you take the whole thing and you have a bad trip, you really are in for a nightmarish experience. Trust me, i experimented a little myself. There is no way to explain how powerful acid is, it is a mind bending experience. If you do it, dont do it alone.

Answer 4

Ideally you would have an experienced user test the blotter and approximate the strength of the hit for you.  But failing that, just take the whole tab.  While it does vary, hit strength rarely exceeds twice the average and blotter sheets are never made with the intention of people using only half a tab.

Above all else, be comfortable with what you're doing.

Answer 5

I will spare you the lecture.  No matter whether you take a whole or a half tab, be patient.  It sometimes takes two or more hours to kick in.  You don't want to take a half or whole tab, get impatient and then take too much.  I'd say take a half tab and then if you're dissatisfied with the intensity of the trip after about 4 or 5 hours, then take the other half.  My bet is that a half should be plenty.

I'd say ignore Mom's advice.  The horrible nightmares and "brain frying" is a Reefer Madness urban myth.  A half tab should be fine.

Answer 6

Brain-frying is not a myth.  As a sufferer of hallucinogen persisting perception defect I can guarantee that a small number of people without a predictable predisposition can be turned into borderline retards.  Do not take any hallucinogen without spending a good hour or so Googleing hppd to know what you could be in for.  I've had it for over 10 years with little abatement.

If you want to take a psychedelic Salvia Divinorum is just as intense but much shorter lasting than lsd, so you arent trapped for long if you spin out.  And it's legal in most places.  It also has a different mode of action to lsd, mescaline and mushrooms so may not induce hppd (but that is pure speculation).

Question your motives as their may be better ways to satisfy your needs.

Curiosity? Peer pressure? Spirituality? Escapism? You will probably find something like travelling, meditation or other spiritual practice, or even moving house or job creates enough new stimulation and self knowledge to create new perspectives, freedom and opportunities.  

Also, listen to people who take drugs.  They are frequently self absorbed and tedious, especially if mixed with a kind of ungrounded self-satisfied hippy "wisdom" that they get from the "knowledge" that drugs has given them. Or some are just a bit spazzy, others have a self absorbed, even self rightous, hedonism.  Dont go there - stay bright and on top of things, youll understand the world and wisdom much better that way.

I would give lsd a wide berth.

Answer 7

not a full one not even a half of one.....dont take any drugs at all...you have never taken any before why do it now...whats wrong with you..that you have to be a sheep and follow everyone else..be yourself and dont touch c**p like that...first time in any drug taking could be your last...then you get a trip in a hearse....back away from them all now...PLEASE...

Answer 8

Na....Take the whole thing  LSD is not that strong now adays for the most part.  Usually like 75mu.  Even if it was twice that you would be fine.  If you take the half you may not even feel ti.  It will just be a waste.  Just make sure you trust the person you are getting it from because there are a couple designer molecules that are like speed that can fit on a blotter but it is not common.  The blotter should not taste bitter.  But usually a blotter is acid.  But like I say now adays acid is 100mu at the most usually.   Even if it was 200mu you would not "freak out".  Please take the whole blotter.  If you do not you may not trip at all.  And do not listen to a lot of the nonsense that some people are saying here.

Answer 9

Since it's your first time and it might even be your first with psychedelic drugs, then I would say do half and wait for upto 1 hour and 30 minutes, usually by this time it's well kicked in but alot of people think they need more because it's not worked only to end up with an intense trip.

If your depressed, worried and/or scared (you have just done something new so it's normal) then you'll panic alot.  Be calm, don't take the drug unless others are doing it as you'll feel paranoid and everyone thinks your an idoit (well you'll think they will)

Get some good music, I like Pink Floyd or Aphex Twin as it's trippy.

If you wanna stay safe, don't overdo it and stay indoors LSD will make things seem further away/closer or faster/slower than they really are - you see how it 'could' be dangerious.

If you take alot of LSD your trip only becomes more intense, it wont last longer, if you are tripping for 20 hours+ then it aint LSD.

The drug is good and mind opening, interesting stuff ... as long as it's not overdone it's very safe.

Pick out a movie too to watch.  Also bad trips aren't that bad as people make out they are just like scary horrors or nightmares, interesting never-the-less.

Answer 10

The trouble with LSD is that nobody CAN predict what your trip will be like.  It might be a mindbending experience, it might be the nightmare that sticks with you for life.  I suppose there's no point giving you the lecture of what you risk, since you've decided already to do this.  Taking half or taking it all, doesn't really matter.  IF your number is up, it just won't matter.  You can fry your brain with half just as well as with the whole thing.  Guess it just depends on how lucky you feel at the time, huh?  Maybe you will be fortunate, and come through the experience okay.  Maybe.  Then again, it might turn out to be a case of retrograde birth control, and you will eliminate your genes from the pool.

Answer 11

Whatever you take, I hope you don't get diarrhea, because that is what usually happens after taking acid and pooing while you're tripping is really scary.

Answer 12

well one problem

if you take half, you will most likely get nothing

the drop of LSD is not evenly spread throughout the whole blotter, it is simply just dropped on there. So if you only take half, you might not get any!

take the whole thing and just trip balls. You might see some crazy patterns, maybe hear colors or see noise, you might ponder the whole existence of humans....but it will be fun as S**t!
